About this title

Synopsis

Database systems of the next generation are likely to be inherently very complex due to the diversity of requirements placed on them. Incorporating active, real time, and temporal virtues in one database system is an arduous effort but is also a commend able one. This book presents the proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Active, Real Time, and Temporal Database Systems (ARTDB 97), held in Como, Milan, in September 1997. The aim of the workshop was to bring researchers together from the active and real time research communities, and to examine the current state of the art in active, real time, and temporal database systems. This book offers a collection of papers presented at the ARTDB 97 workshop. The papers, many of them representing proficient and tenable results, illuminate the feasibility of building database system supporting reactive behavior, while enforcing timeliness and predictability. The book contains nine papers carefully reviewed and accepted by the program committee, three invited papers written by prominent researchers in the field, and two summaries of the panel discussions held at the workshop. The program committee received seventeen submissions, where each submission was reviewed by at least three program committee members. The two panel sessions focused on predictability issues and on practical experience of active, real time, and temporal database systems. The ARTDB 97 workshop was held in cooperation with the IEEE Technical Committees on Real Time Systems and Complexity in Computing, and the ACM Special Interest Group on Manipulation of Data.

Synopsis

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Active, Real-Time, and Temporal Database Systems, ARTDB'97, held in Como, Italy in September 1997. The nine revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 17 submissions. Also included are an introductory survey chapter and three invited papers written by prominent researchers in the field, as well as two summaries of the panel discussions held at the workshop. The papers are devoted to the issue of building database systems supporting reactive behaviour, while enforcing timeliness and predictability.
